Special Agent Rico Lopez came back to his native island to forget an ICE mission gone wrong, only to find himself on a mission to find the daughter of a family friend. Rumors drift around the area about Casa Verde Island sporting strange events—flashing lights, screams and even the
el chupacabra. Rico, of course, doesn’t believe in these things, but his curiosity is spiked when a woman walks into the bar after her car dies and needs a ride to the very place everyone knows better than to go.

Frankie inherited a dilapidated plantation from her grandmother, something she could finally call her own. The locals, however, warn her against the hauntings on Casa Verde, but it’s not enough to scare the stubborn New Yorker away. At least not yet. So when her car breaks down, she meets Rico at a bar, and accepts his offer to help her back to her house. But being near Rico, the tough as nails man, makes her all too thankful when her imagination runs wild and her fears set in.

Strange happenings occur on Casa Verde and it’s up to Rico to figure it all out. A predator is stalking the island and the next victim on his list is the plantation’s sexy new owner, Frankie Montlavo.

If you like edge of your seat suspense, hunky heroes and heroines you can relate to, then DARK WATERS is the story for you. Filled with a gripping suspense tale, I found myself thoroughly enthralled with the story, unable to put it down. Ms. Hewitt doesn’t disappoint her readers. I highly recommend this book.
